Auscast Inspiration

I recently had a fantastic chat with Opals basketballer, Marianna Tolo about her overall experience at Tokyo 2020 and what made it extra special.  

We also spoke about the excitement of Marianna playing basketball in France and her breakout game for the Opals where she scored 26 points and pulled in 17 rebounds against Puerto Rico.  

Marianna discussed the difference in Tokyo vs the Rio Olympics, why it was so special for the Boomers to win their first ever Olympics medal, some of her funny team mates, the pranksters of the group and how the girls dealt with the Olympics being postponed for twelve months.  

Marianna is also an ambassador for the Kids Alive do the Five Water Safety Program and we really appreciate Trina from Ignite for arranging the chat and of course Marianna for her time.  

Thanks to the team from PodBooth for a great job of filming and editing the video and thanks also to our partners Anytime Fitness and Renelec Electrical Services.

Have you heard of it? The Egg Story?

It has nothing to do with the chicken or what came first. This story is about that powerful, impossible and life-changing emotion, we all call Love. And how that four-letter word...that feeling...that place...can scramble our thoughts, our behaviours...our everything.

In this debut episode of Personalities, Partners and Parenting, your podcast host and author Kate Mason takes you through the first moments of love and what we do when we’re in it. And then reminds us all, that true love doesn’t really begin until the “in-love” experience ends.

I’ve conducted lots of incredible interviews in the past few years and this one well and truly kept me on the edge of my seat.

Alex Porter is a fantastic bloke and his determination and positive attitude is incredible especially considering his dream of winning gold at Tokyo 2020 came crashing down literally.

Alex's handlebars inexcusably collapsed during the 4000 metre team pursuit cycling race.

We spoke about the incident and Alex described the feeling afterwards and injuries that occurred which could’ve been a heck of a lot worse considering he was travelling at 65km/h.

Alex and I also discussed the feeling of joy when he found out that he was going to compete at his first Olympics and what it was like inside the village, his Olympic experience growing up as a kid, funny team mates and how they dealt with the Tokyo Olympics being postponed for twelve months.

Thanks so much to Alex for his time and for being so open and honest with his side of the story with what happened at Tokyo, to Rory Noke from Podbooth for a great job of filming and editing the video and to our partners @Renelec Electrical Services and Anytime Fitness Glenelg for their ongoing support.

Stefan Mauk is current club captain of Adelaide United and is also the youngest captain in their history. With a very wise and strong head on his shoulders, not only is Stefan's leadership, creativity and goalscoring admirable, it is without doubt the work he does off the field. With a strong focus on the mindset and mindfulness of an athlete, Stef created the concept of the Inner Game Journal which is to help athletes with their goal setting, psychology and performance. An awesome catch up with a former team mate, I hope you enjoy it :) xx

Former Kickboxing champion, Matt Sarkies is one of the lucky ones, in late 2020 during the pandemic he received a life saving liver transplant!  

It was a real honour to have him tell his story recently on Legends with Bevo and talk about the health challenges that he has faced throughout his life which ultimately meant he had to give up his kickboxing career.  

We also spoke about the importance of being an organ donor and why people shouldn't be scared to become one, how he's recovering after the transplant and where to from here for Matt going forward.  

If you wish to be an organ donor, visit https://www.donatelife.gov.au/ for more information.  

Thanks so much to Matt for his time as well as Liz Sonntag and Claire Bonieux for arranging the chat and thanks also to Rory Noke from PodBooth for a fantastic job of filming and editing the video.
